A Poem On The Underground Wall Chords

Capo 7th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

C C/B G G G F♯ Em

The Clast C/Btrain is Gnearly due, the GunderGgrF♯ound is Emclosing soon,

And Cin the C/Bdark deGserted station, GrestlessG iF♯n antEmicipation,

A Cman waits C/Bin the Gshadows. G G F♯ Em

His Crestless C/Beyes Gleap and scratch, at Gall that GthF♯ey can Emtouch or catch,

And Chidden C/Bdeep withGin his pocket, Gsafe wiGthF♯in his Emsilent socket,

He Cholds a C/Bcoloured Gcrayon. G G F♯ Em

Now Cfrom the C/Btunnel's Gstony womb, the Gcarriage GriF♯des to Emmeet the groom,

And Copens C/Bwide and Gwelcome doors, but he GhesiGtaF♯tes, Emthen withdraws

DCeeper C/Bin the Gshadows. Em

And the Emtrain is gone suddenly, on Dwheels clicking silently

Like a Cgently tapping litAmany, and he Emholds his crayon Amrosary

TCighter in his Ghand. Em

Now Cfrom his C/Bpocket Gquick he flashes, the GcrayonG oF♯n the Emwall he slashes,

DCeep uC/Bpon the Gadvertising, a Gsingle-GwoF♯rded Empoem comprised of

FCourC/B lettGers. G G F♯ Em

And his Cheart is lC/Baughing, Gscreaming, pounding,

G [G/f#] Em

The poem across the tracks rebounding,

SChadowed C/Bby the Gexit light, his Glegs take GthF♯eir asEmcending flight

C C/B G [G/f#] C G

To seek the breast of darkness and be suckled by the night.
